Harsh wind rifles and harps
In the fleece and bones of the elm,
Rocks it inside and fillups
Its leafy ribs with its fingers
Tormenting brilliant storm chords
Out of its sea-green welter,
Imbuing with blue-flash lightning
The somber heart in its slumber.
Pellets of fish-eyed water
Glide off its green pelisse.
Myriad post-storm droplets
Glitter like broken glass chips
In a hallway of shattered mirrors,
Ensnared on fishhooks of light.
Everyone shudders to see what
The storm sees, throned in its tree.
